I've posted all my entries in my gallery. we were given a color palette or just a color and a theme to work around.
Round 3 was no c/u (commercial use) items with the exception of the software used and extras (filters/plug-ins) that came with. so anything else was from pictures, scanners, or whatever i could find to make the items.
Thanks!

In other news, Kai now has 3 teeth and is pulling himself up..hasn't quite got the landings well..but he's trying! and he's not even 8 months yet.

Ok so i found this really awesome CSS and decided to give it a try. please forgive my lack of usual features. as i'm feeling particularly lazy and not wanting to address individual css code features right now lol!

SO i'm COMPLETELY excited over my new Genius Graphics Tablet.. the only thing is.. i can't seem to find the manual that goes with that's SUPPOSEDLY on the cd-rom that came with. the pen tool is still too sensitive for me and i can't find out how to desensitize. so if anyone reading this knows how to do so .. PLEASE HELP!!
I think i may also need some help with PSCS3. It's completely foreign to me and as much as i've tried i just can't get the hang of it. so if anyone wants to or feels like helping me out i'd greatly appreciate it!

In other news.. Kai is 19 weeks old! laughing and can almost sit without assistance! i'm so excited as he's ALSO sleeping nights! has been for about a month.. his schedule got a bit wonky for a while..but he also got 2 shots along with a liquid vaccination. that's enough to make me cranky for a week too! But what i really love is that my little man is showing signs of RED HAIR!! it's too freaking CUTE! so now BOTH my boys will have Red hair. no wonder my hair has gone so 'flat' .. the boys sucked all my red color out.. now it's from a box to make it vibrant again.. but i'm still a RED at heart!

Homeschooling went well .. i think. the girls both scored really high on their CAT tests. so i must have done something right! LOL!

The girls will for the very first time go to Girl Scout Day camp in just over 2 weeks. They're both really excited about it. a full week with a semi quiet house.. i say semi quiet because i'll still have both my boys with me

sorry that i'm jumping all around with this update but i'm just posting as i think about it and i've got limited time..as i can only type this when Kai is sleeping. which is only for a little bit longer.

I've also started taking digital scrapbooking design classes..hence the reason for REALLY wanting the tablet. as it will allow me to more easily create the extras i want.. not to mention it'll help with my digital art--aka-- photomanips ;D

So just 2 weeks ago or something like it.. I turned 29 and Celebrated 7yrs of marriage..but not in that order LMAO! who knew what a relationship could survive..and let me tell you.. it's QUITE A LOT once you get past the problems and work on why they were caused etc. it's not been all bad..been a lot of good too.. Never would i have thought that 7 years ago i'd be buying a home and putting down roots .. i'm not a "Roots" kind of gal.. things change..they always change.

So i've become creative with bill paying.. especially since Da hubbie got a MAJOR paycut.. office politics .. whatever. i've Found a wonderful organization called Angel Food Ministries. I swear this should spread through the USA to help out other areas that need it as well. It's a complete blessing that i can buy food for my family for a month in what it'd normally cost to buy at the store for ONE WEEK! yep.. i can spend $135-140 bucks and stock my house full of food for a month! Check it out [link] . See if there is a location near you. everyone is always looking for another way to save..food is expensive. No reason to go broke trying to feed your family. I encourage you to take a look at the website. This organization has been the biggest help to our household..and ANYONE can order through them.


Well now that i've rambled on about just about everything here.. feel free to surf other places now LOL!!

***PS*** HOLY CRAP!! I just realized i've got over 8k page views! i'm in shock!! ROFL! And i've also submitted my 100th deviation! EGADS! well i've got diaper duty.. thanks for readin'!
